"The worst crimes of academic publishing are to not methodically address all known sources of information and documented accounts on a subject, and to ignore information that conflicts with the premise of the author's research. Of the countless historians and researchers who have pored over the official documents and accounts of the founding and early years of South Australia, only two before Don Langmead – Grenfell Price (1924) and Professor Michael Williams (1974) – had either published doubt over the authorship of the 'parkland town plan' or surmised on its true origins." Great story about warring historians and the things which might influence their work. Includes this strangeness: "When Langmead went to the State Library of South Australia in the course of his research, he discovered that Dutton had put an embargo on access to the Light Papers he had researched for the 1984 revision of Founder of a City."
